Children learn about voice, pitch, volume, and inflection by reading poetry. While these are primarily speech functions, they are also critical for children learning to read. Young readers can learn about speech patterns from poetry, which can help them understand the words on the page. Poetry, like any other form of reading, can help children learn new words. Poetry is distinct in that it usually has a rhythm. Children are introduced to new words in new contexts when they read sentences and phrases with a cadence. Children's imaginations are vivid and active. Poetry encourages children to consider new and unexpected word relationships, which can help them tap into their creativity. Furthermore, encouraging young readers to write poetry can help them improve their literacy skills. This is one such Malayalam poem.
